I, like many people, live two lives. During the week in my professional role I am a business consultant, speaker and writer. My specific discipline is to help small businesses implement the processes and procedures needed to grow.

My consulting firm, LW and Associates (www.lwandassociates.com) assist mid-sized companies with strategy and financial management.

Business Simply Put, (www.businesssimplyput.com) is a web based portal where smaller sized companies and entrepreneurs can find business information, classes and other valuable resources.

The weekends—well that is a different story. I spend every available moment in the mountains-climbing. This includes peak bagging, rock climbing and alpine adventures—I climb it all! And this is where I am at peace and find the most enjoyment.
